Disclaimer: I do not own NBC's Dracula characters in any way, just my OC.
Hey guys, sorry I meant to update this last Monday night, but I ended up working as a sub was needed. Your welcome and thank you.
M continued to work for 4 more house and Alexander, along with Renfield, say quietly from afar, still out of M's eyesight. Alexander whispered, "We need to walk over ever so quietly soon."
Renfield turned his gaze to Alexander, looking puzzled, and whispered, "Sir?"
"According to a...source of mine, if she focuses on something for too long, she'll become obsessed till she figures it out. In other words, Mayeura will not be allowed down here unsupervised."
"Understood sir. If I may, that is try to persuade you not to be too hard on her, sir. From reports of dead council members, if you..."
"She goes into a Blood Tempest or as I more known, Dracula, mindset. Yes I know. I have seen it and she becomes worse than I do. Now, let's go."
Both Alexander and Renfield stood up and quietly walked towards M. If it weren't for M being so engrossed in her work, Alexander and Renfield wouldn't have been able to get as close to her as they were able to. Alexander stopped about 10ft from behind her, and Renfield has managed to creep up without making a sound and stopped 10ft away, facing M's front. Once both had stopped, Alexander nodded his up and down and Renfield looked up to meet Alexander's gaze. Then, suddenly, Renfield grabbed the right corner of the paper, which M was writing on and snatched it from her. M look up at Renfield and yelled, "HEY! GIVE IT BACK!"
Alexander calmly from behind her said, "You may have it back in a minute."
At that moment, M turned around with a frightened look on her face and grabbed hold to the edge of the table. Renfield, as kindly as he could said, "What is this M?"
M, still looking at Alexander and still slightly frightened said, "Science?"
Alexander tried to not laugh, as did Renfield. Alexander said, "That much is clear. Now, what is it really? Don't be afraid M, you can trust me; I promise."
When M didn't answer immediately, Renfield thought the best solution was to hand the paper to Alexander. Renfield walked around the table and stood next to Alexander and handed him the paper. Alexander took the paper, bent his head downwards to glance at it and with the quick glance, looked terrified and pleased. After the quick glance, Alexander lifted his head, looked at M, and said; "This looks like..."
M cut him off, "A daylight formula. It's 1 of 2."
Alexander looked extremely intrigued. "What's the difference between the 2?"
"This version, the one of the paper in your hand, has more of my blood, which should theoretically allow for at least 6 hours of daylight verses 4 hours of daylight."
Alexander sounded startled and excited. "Really? Do you mind we were to test it, M?"
M looked worried but sounded enthusiastic. "Yes, but please remember, it's only a theory."
"Yes of course. Now, why don't you and I start in on this daylight formula a Renfield will go and find a vampire so that it may be tested? Is that ok with you M?"
"Of course, but with all due respect, Mr. Greyson, I need to eat and I have grown tiered. I'd rather not...um..."
Alexander and Renfield exchanged glances of concern. Alexander replied with, "Of course. I shall have my staff prepare some lunch for you, and you may rest as needed the rest of the day and night, if you so wish. Anyway, I have Mr. Harker and Professor Van Helsing coming by with the final adoption paper work."
After lunch, M went upstairs to what used to be the guest room, but now her room and fell asleep. Meanwhile, Alexander was with Mr. Harker and Professor Van Helsing finalizing the adoption and Renfield was looking in every dark alley, corner, crevasse, and abandoned place he could in order to find a vampire. Unfortunately, Renfield was having no luck, but as persistent as he was, he continued to look. As Renfield looked for vampires, Alexander was trying to stay calm whilst talking to Mr. Harker and Professor Van Helsing. Mr. Harker asked, "Why do you wish to take a girl, who has trouble staying in one place?"
Alexander swiftly replied, "I wish to take M in as I do not believe it to be entirely her fault for not being able to stay in one place."
"Well her records show..."
Alexander cut Mr. Harker off, "I know full well what is in her records, even with most of it missing."
Mr. Harker and Professor Van Helsing exchanged worried looks and little did they know Alexander just happened to be paying more attention to them, than the paperwork on his desk. Alexander calmly said, "Mr. Harker, as fascinating as all these questions are, none seem to be about the adoption itself. So, may we proceed with the adoption itself, please? If that is ok with you, of course?"
Mr. Harker replied, "Yes, of course."
As Mr. Harker said that, Professor Van Helsing grabbed his bag from the floor, set it upon his lap, opened the bag, pulled out the adoption papers, and handed them to Alexander. Alexander took them and set them upon his desk and said, "I shall have Renfield drop them off tomorrow morning. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to check on M. I assume you gentlemen can let your self's out?"
Both Mr. Harker and Professor Van Helsing nodded and Alexander said, "Excellent."
With that, Alexander stood up, pushed his chair back, then walked to the door of his study, opened it, and turned right. This left Mr. Harker and Professor Van Helsing alone in Alexander's study. Professor Van Helsing said, "I can't believe the order is allowing this."
Mr. Harker said, "They are allowing I because, well, she really does in fact need a permanent home; she hasn't been the same since Lady Jane died. Lastly, the order wants to lure the beast out and since we know M's secret, this was the best way the order could think of to lite the beast out."
"In other words, the order wants to...terminate..."
"Yes, just remember, if it weren't for you telling us who Alexander Greyson really is, we would not be so desperate to be rid of him."
"What about the girl?"
"Oh, M? The order has said she may live and we are to finally tell her the horrible, unfortunate truth of her father."
"She will not react well; hope the order I prepared for what will come of that. Now, let us go."
Both Mr. Harker and Professor Van Helsing stood up, turned around, and walked out, not noticing Alexander as they walked out; also, Alexander just so happened up hear the whole conversation.
When M awoke from her nap, Alexander, standing on the left side of her bed, looked slightly horrified. M sat up and asked, "Everything ok?"
Alexander quickly said, "When was the first time you killed someone to get blood?"
M looked startled then frightened. "Why...why do you ask?"
"Did you know, if I touch your forehead whilst you sleep, I can see your dream or more correctly, memory? Is it, perhaps, because you are an untrained seer?"
M looked even more frightened. "Yes, yes it is. It only happened once before, as in, someone seeing within my head. I'm so sorry Mr. Greyson."
"It's ok. Just one thing, how often does that..."
M cut him off, "That was the one and only time I ever killed someone for blood. Although, in my defense, I was in a cell and could not reach the food given to me, as I was extremely weak."
As she started to explain herself, Alexander listened and held onto every word, as this was one of few things, he did not know about her.
